Just step back, take a deeep breath Josh!
A month after I got my car i had my complete charging system crap out (alternator, battery, 150 dollar cables), a week later my water pump along with the thermostat, then my pinion seal took me about a month to save up for all that crap to fix. It can always be worse trust me! I was spending more time fixing than driving.

Agreed. Since November I have replaced my alternator, starter, battery, shifter, had my engine taken out and torn apart to have the pistons re-honed, bearings replaced, rings replaced, new gaskets and some tunes..umm, that's about it I think.
All I can say is just accept that some things happen and it makes you appreciate the car that much more when she works... Good luck!

Well, if he can get them to credit you back for the spec, then you're good. Even if you get the monster, and then they send you a spec to replace the old one, sell that bitch online. Sell it for 30 bucks cheaper than online. You'll get a gillion hits.
